LEICESTER — Route 9 was closed for hours after a collision ruptured a fuel tank on a tractor-trailer Wednesday evening. Police Chief James Hurley said the Fire Department, the state Department of Environmental Protection and an environmental cleanup company were at the scene Wednesday night, and expected cleanup to last several hours.

Around 7 p.m., a 2004 Honda Civic collided with the tractor-trailer near Blueberry Lane and Mount Pleasant Avenue. One of the truck's saddle tanks ruptured and spilled fuel, which the chief said appeared to have reached storm drains in the area.

Chief Hurley said there were no injuries in the accident, the cause of which remains under investigation.
